[quote who="PoppaWedge" reply="15" id="1911600"]Shields When I zoom in close to a cap ship that's being pummeled by my fleet, I can see the shield that surrounds the ship taking most of the abuse. However, that shield still appears around the ship even after the ship stats say that the shield is gone. I'd like the shield to disappear after it's gone. Enslavement - If I remember correctly, the Vassari make their way from planet to planet, enslaving the local populace. Why, then, mus

Reply to Mini Mod "The Last Advent..." in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Quick thought/idea: Wouldn't it be cool to miss a weapon misfire, i mean, like it starts, sparks but then sputters and dies out? Haha. perhaps by linking several small new animations? like the sputtering, and the dying? haha. With a lowered (?) to hit chance ratio, or a little smoke coming from the carrier almost constantly, but increasing as shields hulls go down in battle. :) Haha, im getting carried away, but it is an interesting idea. :) -Teal <p

I Posted the request over in the 7DS thread. Thank you FearlessDefiance! I just had a few thoughts this afternoon, if this was a properly done expansion, and not simply a user made mod, then there would be a host of little tweaks and effects to take into consideration, for a more enjoyable gamer experience. Several which come to mind are the to hit chance variables changing with the Last Advent scenario: old ships, weak and damaged systems and weapons, inconsistent weapon outp

Or now that i have this little mini mod with one last advent ship..., could i ask if someone could lend a hand with a model touchup? Danman and company have the 7 Deadly Sins mod, and in it, there are these derelict TEC ships, and they look very very cool, well.... not so cool, you know, like corroded and decayed and old and all that, but they look very cool for all that. Anyway, i have a mini mod, and a small story arc for the advent, that says, fifty years from now the advent are almost com

Wouldn't it be cool, if you could "Hide" in open space? Sorta like FogofWar, where other players looking for you, including the AI, could see planets, like with clairvoyance... or colonies that belong to you, or even trace the phase lanes back from planet to planet... but in "Open Space" you could go anywhere, and be hidden except perhaps until you were... hmm... 100 clicks out? :) Now I would like that... or dust clouds.. like in HW2...?

It's tough being a complete newbie but no one wanted to help out. Anyway, I feel your pain of not being able to find where something is. I believe what you're looking for may be in the SquadXXXBomber/Combat entity files (where XXX is the race.) Inside, I see a fighterConstructionTime string that may be how many seconds it takes to build, and wh

Ahhh.... it's kinda nice... and certainly makes for an interesting battle when they are all strung out in a straight line straight up. :) anyway i think the devs must have realized that fighting just in a flat two dimensional space would be boring...:) and wanted to jazz it up.:) At least that is my guess if other people are having this happen too.
